Review of Ordinary People (1980) by Stefanos T — 01 Jun 2012
'Ordinary People' describes the family relationship in real sensitive matter that it almost becomes too much for the viewer to handle. Timothy Hutton plays the son dealing with his brother's death in a way that seems genuine, while Mary Tyler Moore and Donald Sutherland play the parents who try to hold back all attachment to their grief, which leads to a somewhat unsatisfying ending.
But with Robert Redford's direction it's all displayed with a gentile touch.
